    Aren’t you locked in to the party you’re registered with, specifically to avoid this scenario?

      They can’t actually stop you from registering with the other party. It’s not a crime to vote in their primaries and then vote for the other party in the general.

      Depends on where you live. Here in Missouri, you just tell them which primary ballot you want when you go to vote. I’ve voted for both sides (Democrat primary in 2016 and Conservative primary in 2020 since Missouri will never go blue so might as well attempt to get the least dogshit option for the Dems to weakly fight against).
